Aviation Growth: Local carrier Xen Aviation has added a Britten-Norman BN2T-4S Islander to boost domestic and regional connectivity. Power Supply Pressure: Government and Karpowership remain in negotiations over renewal terms, with public utilities officials saying they’re pushing for a lower rate as the grid relies on rented electricity.
